Fairy Tall Tales

To celebrate #spookyseason, we're interrupting your regularly scheduled creature feature in favor of a spoooooky tale by none other than Edgar Allan Poe! In this episode, Sarah narrates one of his most popular stories, The Tell Tale Heart. So sit back, relax, and try not to murder anyone, ok?

What is this? An episode that involves food but not cannibalism? To add icing to this deadly cake, it may not even involve any murder! This week, we cover The Little Hunchback, a story from Arabia Nights. We also cover the tragic death of Joan Olive Robinson Hill, whose mysterious death may or may not be a heinous murder. Did the husband do it? Let us know what you think! And stay tuned as we celebrate birthday month!

As we're nearing SpOoKy season, it's only fitting that we start to get a little witchy. And just like trick-or-treating itself, this one is short and sweet. This week, Megan tells us a bit about one of the most feared of Cherokee witches: the Raven Mocker. If you want to keep your heart in the right place, you might want to be wary of old people because they might actually be an evil spirit (just sayin').

Birds of a feather may lay together, but sometimes people just suck. Whether you're a witchy woman or a serial killer real estate agent, you should not go around keeping women in cages. Or anyone in cages, for that matter. This week, we retell the German fairy tale of Jorinda and Joringel alongside the awful actions of North Carolina-based serial killer, Todd Kohlhepp.

Is the Jersey Devil more than just an NHL Hockey Team from the garden State? Nobody knows! But this week, Sarah takes a look at the possible origins of the Jersey Devil and how it made its way from the Pine Barrens to popular culture.

A picture's worth a thousand words, but what's a portrait worth if the pretty woman doesn't look a thing like your bushy bride? I think the words you're looking for are "what the 'ell?!" Whatever words you choose, be careful what you say on the internet...you never know if the CIA is listening. This week, we cover two very different kinds of catfishing (and no, neither of them require any type of pole). For our fairy tale, we take a look at the Norwegian Bushy Bride, as collected by Andrew Lang. We also explore Jenelle Potter and The Catfishing Murders of East Tennessee.

RELEASE THE PODCAST! This week, Megan takes us under the sea with her naut-y (you know, nautical) creature feature on none other than the Kraken! More than just a spiced rum, this legendary cephalopod-like sea monster dwells off the coasts of Norway and Greenland and terrorizes nearby sailors. At least according to Scandinavian folklore.

Weeee're back! And we decided to kick off season 2 with a bit of a bang! Well, not literally. Here's a bit of a warning: this episode may be a bit hard to swallow for some people, and we don't recommend this episode for small children. Why? Well, we're afraid they might get eaten. This week, we cover the famous tale of Hansel & Gretel and one of the most gruesome murders to date: Albert Fish.

There are at least 2 things in this life you cannot escape: death and taxes. And while, for a while, some of the main characters in today's stories seem like they may escape the inevitable, we only have one response: Nah, bro. This week, Sarah and Megan take a look at death's siren call in "The Voice of Death" and the seemingly indestructible Michael Malloy, AKA "Rasputin Of The Bronx."

This is going to be the last episode before our season break, but stick around! We'll have some great new content coming out in no time!

Some people have a good head on their shoulders. Other have one on their...chest? This week, Sarah journeys into the unmapped regions of the historic globe and tells us all about the Blemmyae, a race of men purported to headless.  Sternum nose? Check. Boob eyes? Check. Ear pits? Well...you get the idea.
